“DID IDSAY THAT OUT LOUD?”

DID IDSAY THAT OUT LOUD, Seoul, South Korea, Copyright Chris Gregory 2008

Every English speaking person who travels abroad comes across an occasion where a quaint usage of the language is sighted. I’m sure it is the same for speakers of other languages as well as foreigners mangle their native tongue.  When travelling in Asia the most common sightings of unusual English phrases is on clothing and signs.  I couldn’t help myself when I saw this young girl walking in a main street in Seoul.  I’m sure she knew what the words were intended to say, but was probably unaware of the spelling error!
